This means also that the case is of exactly symmetrical form. The inturned flanges at the edges of the case sections reinforce the same, enabling said sections to he made of fairly light metal and these flanges abut when the case is closed, affording a firm joint and preventing distortion of the case by any unus ual pressure.

The finger grips for opening the case are shown formed integral with the case sections and produced by severing segmenortions of the flange 7 as on the lines 23, figures 2 and 3, and then bending the same outward so that they project slightly beyond the time of the case sections. As

shown in the views referred to, these cuts do not extend inward the full width of the flanges 7 so that said flanges remain continuous and uninterrupted at these points.

As shown most clearly in Figure 3, these cut-turned lips 9 are in eflect outward extensions of the wall of the case sections projecting therefrom substantially at the juncture of the wall with the rim flange 7. These projections are so slight not to mar the otherwise smooth this appearance of the case. as shown in Figure '7.

If desired, the holding ring 1-1 may be provided with one or more is s 24, turned inward at the oi wall 15 to serve as a retaining the powder Figure 9.

' Figure 8 shows how more than one of these lugs may be provided at relatively widely separated points, and Figure 10 shows how a single extended lug or flange may be employed. Without these lugs, the pufl will ordinarily be retained within the ring by its close fitting engagement therein, as indicated in Figure l, but the lugs insure that on opening the case, the puff will be retained intheupper cover, inposition to be conveniently removed for use.
